Financial Insecurity in the U.S.

Financial insecurity is a growing problem in the United States. According to a 2017 survey by the Federal Reserve, 40% of Americans could not cover an unexpected expense of $400 without selling something or borrowing money. This number has only grown since then, as wages have remained stagnant and the cost of living continues to rise. Financial insecurity can lead to extreme financial hardship, as well as mental and physical health problems. To combat this issue, many organizations are working hard to provide access to resources that can help people become financially secure.
